What variety are my apples?

[PeteXXX]

As nobody has suggested that they're poison apples yet, and as they're already on your table, I'd follow @biggs682 thoroughly old-fashioned advice: have a bite. How else are you going to know whether you like them or not?

I know these ones are lovely to eat. Often though, I’ll buy half a dozen only to find that they’re nasty

S’pose I could test a ‘sample’ at the shop first

As to which variety, Morrisons website (https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/category/Fresh-Fruit-Apples/105651-104268-113902-113918) shows some Cripps apples (apparently a cross between Pink Lady and Opal apples). Might possibly be them.

Look like Rubens apples

Why's @PeteXXX got his apples?

I'm equally fussy {Pete. I'd go for crispness over flavour. tasty wool just doesn't cut it.
My selection changes seasonally.

I've come over all nostalgic: I remember hearing that joke when I was still at school.

A: Finding a half-dissolved slug in your strange-tasting coffee! ***




*** I had been made a mug of coffee by someone at work. I demanded to know why they had put a slug in my coffee. They told me that they thought they "had imagined" a black object slipping out of the milk bottle into the coffee!

I have a similar story. My Dad and I called on an elderly couple in connection with something musical my Dad was doing. They had been expecting us and had made coffee, which they had poured into a Thermos. The coffee was milky and rather nice but half way through I found something with a fibrous texture and a bitter flavour in my mouth but not wanting to cause offence, I swallowed it. When we got outside and into the car my Dad said: "I don't want to worry you but I found a huge bluebottle in my coffee!"

They're not Worcesters. A Worcester is what I look forward to, along with Discoveries, in very early season. They don't keep.
